"My life is different in that I now have peace in the church, I topped up the money we raised as the church with the first transfer, to build the house of the Lord. We now fellowship in a good structure. The music instruments that we lacked as a church, has been bought using the second transfer. We are now able to preach the Gospel with mighty power. May God bless GiveDirectly as well as the donors."

"My life is different compared to how it was before in that, My in-laws expected that my daughter would drop out of school, being that my husband died. God has intervened through GiveDirectly, and she will complete her study since I have cleared school fees. We could also afford good meals as a family, the thing which could not happened before."

"My life is much different compared to the one before receiving money. I was operating someone's motorcycle and had to give return at the end of the day, Unlike today when I am my own manager and I benefit a lot. I also built a better house as well as buying a cow, the things I could not dream of."

"My life is totally different compared to the past one. I did not have a house of my own, and being a family man, I felt embarrassed to seek for refuge from neighborhood with my wife and a child. Sometimes the owner could come from the city without notice, and could result to leaving even if it could be at night. It is true that a miracle has happened and couldn't believe that I own a house of my own."

"Receiving this money will lighten the burden i have in terms of paying school fees for my three children who study in the nearby academy school. I will also use part of my tranfer to build a bigger house since the one i currently live in with my family is smaller. The remaining part of the tranfer will be used to buy deworming medicines for my cattle and goats and other suppliments that will help stimulate more milk production."

"Since I deal with groceries,the biggest challenge has been the transport expenses which I incur.I mainly get my supplies from the neighbouring county of Narok which is quite a distance.I am planning to buy a motorcycle which will help reduce this expenses and also facilitate mobility to the market during market days."

"The additional goal that I now have is to boost my business. Before receiving this transfer, I was ever worried about its growth. The business had remained at the same level because I used to draw money from it for personal and household use. I now intend to make it bigger so that I can grow the proceeds too."

"My life is different than it would have been if I had never received the transfer in that, I managed to buy my own motorcycle using the first transfer. This has brought peace of mind in my life because I am my own boss. I do not have to struggle to go gamble for casual jobs which are normally not easy to do but difficult to find also. When I missed getting a casual job, I could resort to weeding sugarcane. This were the worst days of my life because weeding sugarcane is never easy. You spend the whole day but paid very little despite the hard work"

"In the next six months, I expect my life will have changed because I will be having an income from the poultry project. I will be practicing poultry keeping in my home using the transfer and this will be a good source of income added to the menial jobs that I do."

"My life is currently different from how it was in that, I was able to build a decent house. Previously, I could get as low as 50 KES from casual jobs such as smearing people's houses which could not be enough to build a house. But I am glad that I was among the beneficiaries of Give Directly and because of this project my life has improved and I was able to do several things that I could not have afforded to do using my meagre earnings. This is evident with the transfer which I channelled towards building a decent house that was a dream come true."
